BeetSteak Nell.

Just before daylight on q recent

odd sight Ia the window OF a Brook
lyn butcher shop on Myrtle Avenue,
says the New York Star. Tha floor
of the window was thickly studded
with steaks, chops, rOasts. and cu5-

Ever and anon some enthusiastic breeder
of thoroughbred fowls descants upon the
merits of his favorite breed-their tender,
juicy flesh, and rich, highly favored eggs,
not to be compared with the dunghills long
ago discarded forgetting that the dung
hills We're truly named, and that from
hard scratching for n living in the barn
yard, they produced the small, tough
bodies and ill-tavored eggs complained of,
while his thorough breds have yard to
themselves, are fed ON the choicest grain
and grasses, have nothing but pure water
TO drink, and all the dehcacies of the
season, from the dinner table.
What breeder has not noticed the differ
ence in flavor Of the eggs from his best
yards and from the general flock running
at large? Instinctively, the best fowls re-
ceive the best food and most careful at
tention, and the result is richer and better
favored eggs. Feeding for favor must
sooner or later become one OF the high arts
of poultry culture. -NeW lord Market

With improved methods of carving
came a more general demand for small
ivory figures which could be used as or.
naments, and as result the subjects be
came more varied and less conventional.
! We now have beautiful toilet articles
with carvings of flowers and arabcsque
baskets Of ivory worthy to inclose gems
little statues of genre designs; birds and
grayhounds and miniature figures of hui
manity. Striking groups and scenes
I from life are carved out Of the white sub
stance, and the whole inlaid with differ
emily colored ivory, which gives the pic
ture realistic and beautiful appearance.
The more delicate of the carvings have
TO be executed by trained hand aud an
artistic eye. Many women are employed
in this work, especially in the ivory man
ufactories of Europe, where they are
paid good wages for their labor. The
rougher work, such as making billiard
balls, rings for harness and ivory han
dies, is done entirely by machinery, but
since the demand for fine household
ornaments has grown so steadily, a large
number of gifted women have been given
employment in the manufactures to do
the fine polishing and designing. The
ivory used is taken, not only from Africa
and Asia and the fossil mammoth of ST
IBERIA, but also from the horns of the hip
pOpOtamus, the tusks of the walrus and
the sword Of the narwhale.
The grain of the several kinds differs
very materially, and in proportion TO the
delicatencss of the lines is the price paid
for it. The elephant tusk represents the
finest specimens of ivory. When the
tusks are brought into the workshop they
are cut into shapes necessary for carving
by machinery. The objects are designed
beforehand and suitable piece is cut out
from the sheet at one turn of the wheel
These pieces arc then taken by the art
lists, who design and polish them until
fashioned ready for the store. The cary
ers sit at long desks facing windows Of
light, and they use salt and water be
meath the touch of their fine tools. The
polishing is accomplished upon wheels or
''buffs" corered with Canton flannel, and
there are watts of colored liquid for stain
ing tints. When the carving is finished
it represents exquisite work.-lNaa and
